Water clarity

[JohnnyOxentine]

Hey folks, I've got a roughly 150 gallon pond with a fountain but I'm wondering what to do about water clarity, I can't actually see my fish until they surface to eat and an occasional blur as they swim near the surface. Is there anything to do to clear it up without harming the fish or spending hundreds on a sort of filtration system?

Small bog and plants!

Yes, lots of plants!
And....what addy said!
A bog filter. It totally cleared up my pond.

I had two pressure filters going with a UV light and my water was solid green.
I got rid of it all and the bog is all I use now. My water is crystal clear.
